[RESOLVED] Edited article is not saved when the admin session expires

[mihu]

When I edit an article and it takes too long that the admin session expires and I click the Apply button, I am logged out. When I relogin and check the article the original status is displayed, the new edit was not saved. It may be terrible because you may lost what you edited so far.

I don't believe this is a bug

It has always been like this as i can think of it - if you leave your editor for a while when creating an article = settings won't be saved if the session expires before you hit the save button.

I got used to it, and have learned to save the article text/content by right click if i get worried about my time used...this goes for most forums/dynamic sites i write a lot on = same thing happends on most sites with forum/dynamic content if the session cookie is to "stressed" lol

I agree on that it is not a "good" thing always - might even mess up someones mood for a while

But, i don't think anything will be donne with this right now - at least not in the 1.5 - maybe not at all = it seems logic that you can't save if you actually ain't logged in any more...

There is a workaround:

Change timeout for backend from (AFAIR) 900 seconds to 86400 or more.

15 or 30 minutes (AFAIR timeout in frontend) is unrealistic in almost any case.

Yepp, I see, I should have submitted this post in the Wishlists forum  :P

Yes, there may be temporary solutions, however, I expect from the most popular OS CMS to handle this properly.

This one has long been solved.

Well, in a recent SVN, ca. 2 weeks ago, it seemed to be a problem, but using SVN 9900, fresh install, I am not logged out after a long period of time.
